Agricultural Research

In the College of Agriculture and Environmental Sciences, we're building an agribusiness incubator, turning farm byproducts into medicine and reimagining agriculture's possibilities.

The College of Agriculture and Environmental Sciences has a rich history of discovery, innovation and application of cutting-edge technology. Much of its scientific inquiry is conducted by research faculty with joint appointments in the instructional program. That research activity is frequently sponsored by the U.S. Department of Agriculture and conducted on A&T's  University Farm and in on-campus laboratories in such disciplines as agricultural economics, animal science, plant science, landscape architecture and design, human nutrition, housing, food science and animal health.
